Introduction • Many problems of the contemporary world include challenges already familiar to civilizations, societies and nations of distant epochs. Solutions to some of them, both intellectual and practical, are often forgotten or even unknown, while others have gained stereotypical interpretations, which do not always correspond to the truth. Meanwhile, the skilful interpretation of the cultural heritage of many contemporary nations may be a creative inspiration both in the effort to understand, diagnose as well as shape ways of resolving contradictions, conflicts and posing developmental questions towards the challenges of the contemporary world. The Jagiellonian era is an excellent area for such inspirations. During the three centuries fourteenth, fifteenth and sixteenth, concepts and a -ne twork of activities, institutions and legal regulations have been developed, which correspond to similar issues of contemporary Europe in the area of social mobility, multiculturalism, international and intercultural rela- tions, religious tolerance, cooperation of regional, national and supranatio- nal communities. This cooperation is noticeable in the field of science, arti- stic creativity and political culture. It is worth mentioning that many ideas were conceived then, which go far beyond the area of geopolitical relations, and thus beyond what Polish historians called the ’Jagiellonian idea’ in the second half of the nineteenth century. In political terms, it has always had different perception in individual countries that create a specific Jagiello- nian space stretching from the Baltic Sea to the Black Sea. Yet, it should be remembered, that the space was not won with a sword, but a discourse of interests, more of less felt sense of community. The purpose of this book, however, is neither to evaluate nor to continue the visions of unity, but to highlight the many, very creative ideas 9 JAGIELLONIAN IDEAS... that have arisen in the fields of science, culture, interreligious relations, pu- blic affairs, the concept of the common good, education and rights, as well as the patterns of political thinking in its interpretation of axiology. It is a very diverse world of ideas referring, as in the case of outstanding and still underestimated thought authored by Paweł Włodkowic - to universalizing values that go far beyond national contexts. They create a wealth of inspira- tion, when one looks at this heritage, not only in terms of political science, but also through cultural sciences, anthropology, cultural sociology, peda- gogy, history of ideas, intercultural studies or social communication. The texts collected in the book are mainly the result of work within three seminars and one workshop carried out in 2017, designed in a com- parative perspective, successively at the Jagiellonian University in Kraków, the University of Oxford, National Pedagogical Dragomanov University in Kiev and Western Sydney University. Each of these events was a separate, but at the same time corresponding experience, which participants found very interesting. This experience shows the Jagiellonian ideas from a diffe- rent but complementary side. In all these places, we enjoyed great support from representatives of the local scientific communities, for which we wo- uld like to express our great gratitude and hope for further cooperation. Each seminar and workshop, was similar in structure to the
